There was already a book club list, created 2 years before this one: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/19...

Yeah Goodreads should work on that. I did numerous searches for book club, book list, book club list, book club recommendations and NONE, not one showed up in the search results.
I had to search different ways for this, too. There should be an easier way to find it, like an icon at the top of the home page. Book Club recommendations should be dated by each year.
Anyone can add books to this list.
How to Vote
To vote on existing books from the list, beside each book there is a link vote for this book clicking it will add that book to your votes.
To vote on books not in the list or books you couldn't find in the list, you can click on the tab add books to this list and then choose from your books, or simply search.
